Our committees

Our Board manages its work through several committees.

Recruitment

We appoint selection panels to oversee the selection of new
members of our committees when there is a vacancy.

The selection panel consists of an independent person with
knowledge of the Code of Practice of the Commissioner for Public
Appointments (or similar skills and experience in good recruitment
procedures), at least one and a maximum of two members of the
Board, and a member of senior staff of the BSB (as delegated by the
Director General).

The Chair of the BSB considers the recommendations of each
selection panel before deciding on an appointment.

We advertise for new committee members at least once a year, all
vacancies will be advertised on our website - Bar
